The Jerusalem Winner Marathon to be held on March 15, 2019 was launched last night by new Mayor Moshe Lion.

The full marathon runners, with the Knesset in the not so far distance, at this point will be near the finish line.

The new path is ready for the full Jerusalem Marathon runners before they enter the Gan Sacher, Sacher Park.

There will be many more vantage points this year, as old and burnt areas have been cleared.

New benches have been placed along the cycling, walking and running path for spectators.

After months of work, Gan Sacher looks like it will be ready before the start countdown.

Posted across from Gan Sacher, is this large ad for the ice skating rink and food in Mitchell Park.

The Jerusalem Marathon is in its ninth year, but there is a new location for the ice skating rink.

There have been previous ice skating rinks in Jerusalem, but this one seems to be the largest, with a new concept of ice and eat in Mitchell Park, which is near the Artists’ Colony.

Not many people were eating or skating last night.

No one was smoking last night when we went to check it out.

And finally cycling. GFNY is set for May 3, 2019, and the registration sale ends at the end of February, but these cyclists were out training already. Another chance for amateur cyclists to ride with the pros.

Jerusalem is not usually associated with sports, but walk, run, ride, or skate, or sit and eat.
